27、y for them, there are unusual museums to check out, such as underwater museums!How can you visit and what can you see?Many underwater museums are supported by companies that offer guided tours. A trained guide leads groups around a stunning underwater display of statues in each museum. Depending on
28、the depth of the museum, visitors may be able to view the sculptures from a glass bottomed boat or by swimming on the surface. Other underwater museums are deeper and are most accessible to scuba divers.Why are the museums underwater?Underwater museums have many functions. One of their aims is to cr
29、eate a man-made reef environment where sea creatures can live. Thats why some of the museums are located in areas that were damaged by hurricanes or are considered underwater “deserts”. The statues in the museum are designed in a way that encourages the gmwih of coal and plant life. Over time. the s

35、pire. D. To inform.BBeyonce Knowles can do something that many humans struggle with: sing and dance at the same time. But, it turns out this great ability is not unique to humans. The superb lyrebird, already known to be a gifted singer, can perform coordinated 协调的)song-and-dance routines(套舞蹈动作)that
36、 put most humans to shame.The superb lyrebird is one of only two lyrebird species living in Australia, the other named Alberts lyrebird. Male lyrebirds have tails in the shape of an ancient musical instrument when spread out. Like most animals with beautiful body parts, the males use their tails to
37、attract females. Each one sets up a small mound(小丘)on the forest floor, where he walks around proudly and sings. He also shows his tail by holding it over his head.Lyrebirds are gifted mimics(模仿者),so their songs combine their own calls, the songs of other species, and sounds they have heard in the f
38、orest. That would be enough showing off for other animals, but male superb lyrebirds also dance,Anastasia Dalziell of the Australian National University in Canberra filmed 12 lyrebirds in the wild. She found that males only danced during four song types, and that each song type was accompanied by a
39、specific move. “Lyrebirds match different dance styles to different types of songs, ”she says. For example, when the male sang a series of rapid notes he also stepped to the side and held his tail wide. Another song type was accompanied by jumping and moving up and down, with the tail held narrow.“O
40、ur results suggest that the coordination between song and dance- -like movements we see in humans can occur in other animals,” says Dalziel!. Female lyrebirds might prefer males lhat are better at coordinating song and dance, although there is no evidence of that yet.58 Beyonce Knowles is mentioned

43、yrebirds are gifted at coordinating song and dance,D. Male lyrebirds can sing four songs, each accompanied by a move.CArtificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before
44、 possible.Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern Californias (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about canc
45、er cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. “.You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition thats important to making decisions.”David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that “machines are not going to take the place of do
46、ctors. He adds, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain cant recognize these patterns by itself.”Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning
47、. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. CiuTently,researchers take a thin piece of tissue,put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. This process could take days or even longer, Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count
48、 cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick diagnosis (诊断)of cancer that is free of human mistakes.“All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it
49、in real time”.We couldnt have done this,we didnt have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now its all changed.” Agus adds that the process could be done “for almost no cost in the developing world.He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.A doctor faces a series of critical decisions every day.
